In the MDBDATA folder do you have a backlog of log files? If you aren't using a backup software that flushes commited logs they are just going to sit there and build up and eat up space. Most of your standard backup software packages come with exchange plugins that allow you to flush those logs.

Have you performed a full backup of the Exchange server?

Deffinatly looks like backups are not happening.

I would check the badmail folder as well. If he is not on SP1 then that folder will fill up quite quickly as well.
